TAMPA – He has done almost everything there is to do in baseball across a blessed five-year career and when it comes to winning World Series rings, Derek Jeter is a four-trick pony.

Yet, there is one thing missing from Jeter’s memory bank and that is the buzz created by Opening Day at Yankee Stadium. Jeter never has played the first game of the season in the Bronx.

His rookie year of 1996, the Yankees opened in Cleveland. Since then, it’s been on the West Coast. Thanks to an inflamed right quadriceps that has Jeter on the DL until Saturday, Jeter has to hope the schedule-maker starts the Yankees in the Bronx next year so he can feel the electricity created by Opening Day at the Stadium.

“Never have played there on Opening Day, never,” a disappointed Jeter told The Post yesterday, after he completed the latest mundane minor-league intersquad game at the Yankees’ minor-league complex.

Jeter was so dejected about not being on the plane to La Guardia Saturday night that he was out of the Legend’s Field clubhouse shortly after changing to street clothes.

“I just said, ‘Good luck,'” Jeter said when asked what advice he had for his teammates, many of them who take their cue from the Bombers’ best player and George Steinbrenner’s $189 million investment. “I got out of there before they got dressed.”

Even if the weather cooperates and allows the Yankees to raise their 26th World Series banner and play the Royals in front of a soldout crowd, Jeter will miss a big chunk of the day.

“I’ll be here playing a game,” Jeter said when asked if he had plans to tune in.

Jeter, whose last big-league, spring-training game was on March 16, had four plate appearances for Norwich (AA) yesterday, going 2-for-3 with a walk against Columbus. His movements in the field were smooth if not lightning-quick.

Yankee fans will get their first glimpse of Jeter Friday night when he takes BP at the Stadium before Christian Parker makes his major-league debut against the Blue Jays. Jeter is expected to play the following day.
